I attended the 24 Hours of LeMons at Flat Rock Speedway a couple weeks ago, and will most likely upload some photos and a rant when I remember to get them developed. The whole weekend was a blast, and I got a wonderful taste of the joy involved in racing beater cars. Jay Lamm, the organizer of the event was even kind enough to pay me for taking a shift as a pit marshal. As a bonus, that meant I got to take home a "24 Hours of LeMons Staff" t-shirt. The whole thing was sweet from start to finish.
One down side: while I was at the race, I learned that Colin McRae, his five-year old son, and two of their family friends all lost their lives in a helicopter crash two weeks earlier. Sad to hear, as he was a phenomenal rally driver and quite a nice guy, from what I've read.
Once I flip through my horrid photos of the LeMons race (thank you, crappy disposable cameras), I'm sure I'll feel the need to recap the fun and insanity I witnessed with a full-on rant. That may have to wait until after this weekend, since I'm going to a track for some high performance driving instruction. The session begins in--less than sixty hours. I'm just a bit excited. Here's hoping I catch on quick. And that the stupid grin I'll develop on Saturday won't stick.

I was going to ask if you were going to go to that, guess that answers the question. Cool, so, that means you got paid to do something car related...see...dreams do come true;)
